At the same time, three large forest fires occur simultaneously in northern California and southern California. In northern California, where an emergency has been declared, the number of missing persons in contact with 35 missing persons is expected to increase.
US media and firefighters said the total number of people forced to evacuate was about 150,000 people.
According to foreign and local media, including AP, CNN, the camp fire, which has declared in Butt County, 290 km northeast of San Francisco, has devastated the entire city of Paradise in the county. About 6,700 homes were burned and 26,000 people evacuated.
There were nine deaths in Butte County alone.
Five out of nine people who were killed were found in a car burned and three others were found dead in front of their home. The other was found dead in the house, police said.
Corey County Police Chief Hornay Butte said, "The worst case scenario has come true."
Residents drove their cars in the flames. A stunning video has also been published on social media.

Firefighters found that some of the residents who had been evacuated in the afternoon and the night of the previous day were unable to get out of the fire.
It seems that the damage was caused by only one path leading to the refuge road. There were abandoned vehicles in the area and a school bus caught fire.
Firefighters have trouble getting to the scene, so it takes time to check the dead.
Police said 35 people went missing after losing contact. Three firefighters were injured.
"Firefighters were trying to get rid of residents," said Scott McLean, a California fire officer. "Firefighters could not even try to catch fire, I can still," he says.
The city of Paradise, where locals were killed, is close to the place where the fires of the Mendochino National Forest were recorded in July, the largest fires in California's history.
Firefighters said that all the inhabitants of the paradisiac village had been presented and that the fire was circulating throughout the village.
The propane gas explosion in the house caused fireballs everywhere and electrical poles fell, the local press said.
The fire department said that there were 6,450 houses and 260 buildings burned.
Fire departments said it was the worst of the California fire history, surpbading the 5636 homes and buildings burned last October in the Napa and Sonoma regions. . .
Fire officials said the northern California area now covers 365 square kilometers (90,000 acres). This is more than half the size of Seoul (605㎢) and more than 100 times that of Yeouido.
The area burned by fire increased three times in one day. The rate of change is only 5% as of the afternoon of the 9th.
Witness Karen O 'Dayy told The Associated Press: "As the car was coming out of town, a flame was rising like a bomb."
Scott Rotor, a parliamentary advisor, said: "The whole village was surrounded by flames, a huge disaster."
In the afternoon of 9, the campfire extends to the neighboring area of Chico. The wind is blowing on Chico, where 90,000 people live, and it seems that the population will be evacuated more.
Large-scale forest fires also threatened residents of southern Oaks, Ventura County, California, where 12 people were killed by gunshot wounds. In the area where the northern California forest catches fire, it is 800 km to the south.
The fire that took place west of Santera Rosa Valley the day before (Hillfire) was intense all night.
The area is just a few miles from the Thousand Oaks Grid & Bar at the border, where gunshots took place on the night of April 7-24.
The forced evacuation was extended to West Lake, Callavers and Cheeseburger Canyon.
Forest fires spread in unpredictable directions due to fire from two regions. The National Meteorological Service (NWS) said that the hot Santa Ana Gale wind, with a speed of about 100 km / h, was blowing over the mountains of Sierra Nevada to the coast, increasing the firepower of forest.
The forest fire in the Simi Valley called it "Ulfifire", but the rate of change is still 0% on the 9th in the morning.
The fire has crossed the Los Angeles County border and has spread over 35,000 acres.
A forced eviction took place towards the entire city of Malibu, 50 kilometers west of Los Angeles.
Malibu is a folk village with many celebrities and symbols and is one of the most populated areas of the region.
More than 25,000 homes have been expelled from Malibu and neighboring towns.
Due to the fire, the main roads were also cut off.
The Ventura County Fire Department said on Twitter that "the fire had devastated some sections of Highway 101".
Parts of the road south, north and north of the Pacific Coast Highway have been closed.
Firefighters told residents: "I urge you to evacuate along the road on which you are guided by the spread of the disaster." Shelters have been set up in the centers of these local residents.
Malibu authorities urged all residents to evacuate immediately.
